New 7/7 Bombing Photo Contradicts Official Story

A new photo released on the fourth anniversary of the 7/7 attacks in
London appears to contradict the government's official story that
Muslims with backpack bombs were responsible for the Tube and bus
bombings which killed 52 people.
The image seemingly dovetails with a survivor's eyewitness statement
that the bombs on the Tube trains were placed underneath the carriage
and that suicide bombers were nowhere to be seen.
Debunkers have attempted to dismiss this vital hole in the official
story by claiming that questions about eyewitnesses stating bombs were
placed under the train have been explained. London Guardian journalist
Mark Honigsbaum interviewed witnesses who stated that "tiles, the covers
on the floor of the train, suddenly flew up, raised up," when the bombs
were detonated. Honigsbaum later said that the quotes were taken out of
context when they were cited as evidence that the bombs were planted
under the trains - and debunkers duly seized on this in an attempt to
dismiss the entire issue.
However, one very reliable eyewitness statement is very clear in making
it plain that no suicide bombers were involved, and the bomb could only
have been planted underneath the train, contradicting the official story
completely.
The words of 7/7 survivor Bruce Lait, who was just yards from the
explosion when it happened, cannot be taken out of context.
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
Lait, a victim of the Aldgate Station bombing, described to the
Cambridge Evening News how he and his partner were sitting nearest to
the bomb when it detonated.
"We'd been on there for a minute at most and then something
happened. It was like a huge electricity surge which knocked us out and
burst our eardrums. I can still hear that sound now," he said.
He and Crystal were helped out of the carriage. As they made their
way out, a policeman pointed out where the bomb had been.
"The policeman said 'mind that hole, that's where the bomb was'.
The metal was pushed upwards as if the bomb was underneath the train.
They seem to think the bomb was left in a bag, but I don't remember
anybody being where the bomb was, or any bag," he said.
In his statement, Lait makes clear four things - according to what he
witnessed, there was no suicide bomber, there was no rucksack or
backpack that could have contained a bomb, there was nobody around the
location where the bomb exploded, and the bomb appeared to have been
placed underneath the train.
The fact that the policeman had to warn them of a "hole" as they were
being led out to safety obviously suggests that the hole was in the
floor and therefore a potential hazard to them exiting the train.
The photo displayed below is currently being carried on the Daily Mail
website with the caption; "Warped and blackened by the blast, this is
the Piccadilly Line carriage where Jermaine Lindsay's bomb detonated at
Russell Square station. A forensics officer in white rubber gloves
inches his way along the floor - itself sheared away in the blast,
exposing metal beams - searching for the smallest of clues." Note that
Bruce Lait's comments refer to the Aldgate tube bombing. This photo is
from the Russell Square bombing, but it appears to dovetail his
testimony that the bombs were planted under the train.

Despite the fact that the image is suspiciously cut off at the point
where the hole begins, one can clearly see it at the very bottom of the
picture. The cabling underneath the floor cover is exposed and the area
to the right of the hole is raised up, as if pressure has been exerted
from underneath.
The contention that there were no suicide bombers actually on the train
at all, as Bruce Lait contends, is consistent with other evidence
surrounding the attacks.
The fact that the ID's of all the so-called suicide bombers were found
in pristine condition right next to where the bombs went off strongly
suggests the planting of evidence to frame patsies. The ID's would have
had a reasonable chance of surviving relatively unscathed if the bomb
was not in the backpack with them, but underneath the train.
On the other hand the backpack bombs could have just been the
diversionary blasts to enable patsies to be framed, just like the planes
flying into the towers acted as the diversionary cover for the
explosives planted inside the World Trade Center.
Remember that the London Metropolitan Police Anti-Terrorist Branch
themselves reported that from studying the behavior of the alleged
suicide bombers before the attacks via CCTV footage, the bombers "did
not fit the preconceived terrorist profile."
The suspects were seen to be arguing with cashiers, walking in and out
of shops, including McDonalds, and "bumping into people" in the minutes
before the blasts - hardly the behavior of people who are in the final
crucial moments of planning a terror attack in which they will be
killed, and who wish to go unnoticed.
"I've seen the CCTV footage of these people. They do not appear to be on
their way to commit any crime at all," a London Metropolitan Police
representative said.
"The roundtrip tickets, the fact that one of them spent a lot recently
repairing his car and one of them had a family and was the teacher of
the disabled and underprivileged children, it doesn't ring right," said
Paul Beaver, a security and defense expert in London with close police
contacts. "If you had that much commitment, how are you going to take
your life? It's happened in Palestine, but these people were brought up
in the UK."
Turning back to the question of devices planted under the train, the get
out clause of the "exercise" or "drill" scenario would have also
provided culpability cover if investigators started asking questions
about objects underneath the carriage.
As we have exhaustively documented, such a drill did take place on the
morning of 7/7.
A consultancy agency with government and police connections was running
an exercise for a company that revolved around the London Underground
being bombed at the exact same times and locations as happened in real
life on the morning of July 7th.
For individuals to plant bombs underneath trains and secure them in
place without being caught, they would need to secure access to the
trains. In this scenario, London Underground could have been told that a
dummy device was to be placed underneath the train as part of an
exercise to test security and alertness. When the real attacks happened
some LU officials would have been alarmed but their suspicions would
have dampened when it was revealed that the bombs were carried in
backpacks, meaning that the drill was just a strange 'coincidence'.
It is important to stress that this is just one piece of evidence amidst
a myriad of smoking guns that all directly contradict the government's
official story. A summary of that evidence can be found here. An archive
containing further stories can be found here.
Questions surrounding the 7/7 bombings have been met with a stonewall
response from the British government, leading victims' relatives to call
for an independent inquiry.
Scotland Yard�s former head of counter-terrorism Andy Hayman, who was
Assistant Commissioner for Special Operations at the time of the
bombings in 2005, has also publicly called for an independent
investigation into the bombings.
�Incidents of less gravity have attracted the status of a public inquiry
� train crashes, a death in custody, and even other terrorist attacks.
How can there not be a full, independent public inquiry into the deaths
of 52 commuters on London�s transport system?," said Hayman.
However, individuals who produced Internet documentaries about these
questions, such as the author of 7/7: Ripple Effect, 60-year-old Anthony
John Hill, have been targeted for character assassination by the media,
and in particular the BBC. Hill was arrested merely for sending a copy
of his DVD to a jury member after authorities accused him of perverting
the course of justice.
